I’ve been to a marvellous party

To an ambassador’s reception in Kirkby last night and the party of the year so far.

Details are still sketchy, but highlights included: Tequila slammers from nice guy Paul (Kenzie) McKenzie right; Tricky getting so drunk-uncled that he began to talk in code; his delightfully foul-mouthed sister getting almost as wingdinged; beer, beer lashings of beer.

To make a slammer, you need Tequila (preferably top shelf), salt and limes

Lick the back of your hand, put salt on the (now) sticky back of your hand, lick the salt, down a large dose of straight tequila and then bite into the lime and suck that mother till it starts to feel good.

I understand a lot of people sub lemons for limes, but take it from the SD, limes work magic. The drink bangs into your head but then sends a warm glow through your body, bringing feelings of euphoria and brotherhood.

Try one today.
